April 04, 2024

Jade Point (63°36′S 57°35′W / 63.600°S 57.583°W / -63.600; -57.583) is a gently sloping rocky point forming the southern limit of Eyrie Bay and the east extremity of Yatrus Promontory, Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica. It was named descriptively by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, as the lower slopes of the point are permanently sheathed in greenish-tinged ice, jade being a name for some types of green stone.[1]
